An AI tale with a pagan twist, new comic series Hexware is already asking the big questions: who deserves a soul, and to what lengths will one go to feel 'real'? Check out Screen Rant's review of the new ImageComics title now.
Warning: SPOILERS for Hexware #1Hexware #1 is the latest science fiction offering from Image Comics, but this time with a fantasy-oriented twist. Like many AI tales, this first issue is already asking the big questions: who deserves a soul, and to what lengths will one go to feel "real"?
Hexware joins a long line of AI-centered stories that consider just what would happen if artificial intelligence truly began to gain—or, in this case, desire—sentience. Described by Image as "dark mashup of witchcraft and sci-fi" Hexware promises to add an almost-pagan element to this classic AI tale, as the story follows a rich family's "Which-Where" android as she attempts to purchase a new soul from a sketchy source: the devil.
Hexware Successfully Combines AI Philosophy with Pagan Aesthetics This new series takes the classic Pinocchio tale—will the android become a "real girl"?—and adds a super fun twist in the form of these blended genre elements. Despite the sometimes-confusing pacing as the story jumps back and forth in time, the charming witchy-ness of this first issue keeps the reader engaged and delighted, especially as that pagan iconography is applied in a futuristic setting.
Hexware is perfect for fans of sci-fi, fantasy, and even tales of power and class disparity. The book balances a good handful of genres and thematic elements, and so far the juggling is spectacular . If the team behind Hexware can keep all of those balls in the air, this new Pinocchio tale from Image Comics could be a philosophically poignant and utterly charming hit.
